Experience
Tutored 1 year SAT/ACT Student-Tutor Tutored 3 months SAT/ACT/AP Chemistry Varsity Tutors Scores: 35 ACT (35 English, 35 Math, 36 Reading, 32 Science) 2160 SAT Average score increase SAT: 270 points ACT: 4 points I love the challenge of helping students achieve their target scores by creating a personalized curriculum based around their strengths and weaknesses. Tutoring offers me the chance to do this, which is why I love tutoring students. My tutoring philosophy is geared around having the students gain confidence when facing problems they find particularly difficult by showing them different ways of attacking the problem and then letting them practice these types of problems with their newfound knowledge until they can do it well. I also build the curriculum around the test in question, having them hone their skills in a particular section in order to get the best return for their time. These strategies have made me a very skilled tutor, averaging a 270 point increase for SAT and a 4 point increase for ACT.

Hobbies
When I'm not tutoring students, you can usually find me training for a 5k, playing basketball, or walking my dog. If it's a rainy day or I'm not feeling very active, I'll usually be leafing through a good book, listening to a podcast, or watching The Office on Netflix.
